When would a Directory Watch Trigger configured for CREATE events fire?

• A. Immediately when a file is created
• B. After the next poll interval
• C. Only on file modification
• D. On file deletion

Answer: (B)

Directory Watch Trigger for CREATE events operates on a polling basis. It doesn’t fire the instant a file appears; instead, the directory is scanned at fixed intervals, and when a new file is detected during a poll, the trigger fires. That means it fires after the next poll interval. The exact timing depends on how often you set the poll interval—short intervals detect new files sooner, longer ones delay the firing. A CREATE event is specifically about new files, so it wouldn’t fire for modifications or deletions unless those respective events are configured separately.
